The B700 was introduced 3 years after the L820 which is quite a big difference as far as technology is concerned. Both of the cameras have the same body design (SLR-like (bridge)).

Before diving right into a thorough comparison, here is a short synopsis of how the B700 matches up vs the L820 for portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Here is a sample of the gallery pictures for Nikon Coolpix B700 & Nikon Coolpix L820. The whole galleries are viewable at Nikon B700 Gallery & Nikon L820 Gallery.

Typically, it can be tough to envision the gap between sensor dimensions purely by going over a spec sheet. The pic underneath will give you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the B700 and L820.

Clearly, the 2 cameras have the same sensor dimensions but not the same megapixels. You can anticipate the Nikon B700 to deliver more detail using its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop pics a bit more aggressively. The younger B700 is going to have an advantage in sensor technology.
